Michael Bublé says he is "close" to quitting music to instead be a full-time father

Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato delighted fans when they shared the wonderful news they welcomed their new daughter, Cielo Yoli Rose Bublé, together last month.

But now the dad-of-four has shared some not great news ... hinting that he might quit music soon.

Speaking on That Gaby Roslin Podcast, the Canadian crooner revealed that he's "not loving" his career as much as he should and wants to spend more time with his wife and their children Noah, nine, Elias, six, Vida, four, and Cielo.

He said: "I think I'm not loving it as much, I think I'm getting close to thinking maybe I can just go and be a dad.

"I have this picture in my head, of just me in a field with my kids and Ed Sheeran's kids and we're just hugging each other and picnicking and getting drunk."

The 46-year-old went on to add: "I don't know a friend who doesn't have the same thought. We never seem to really do it, very few of us are brave enough to say, 'No, I just want to do this,' but I think it's a fantasy."

Bublé previously took two years off when his eldest son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016, before the boy made a full recovery.

Bublé and Lopilato became engaged in 2009 and were married two years later in 2011.
